I too struggled for years with my weight, confused and obsessed with the number on the scale…

Most people don’t know this about me, but I was obsessive about my weight when I was younger. I did not have a healthy relationship with food or my body. I may have thought I was eating healthy but little did I know I was creating an internal disaster with my body systems that would soon backfire on me…big time. I started to develop health issues and overtime my symptoms began to worsen and continued into college. This later led to me developing hormonal imbalances, gallbladder attacks, digestive issues and thyroid problems by the time I was 23. I had to run everyday at least 5 miles just to make sure I kept any weight off. This eventually took a toll on my adrenals and lead to a larger hormone imbalance.

Going through my undergrad in nutrition and continuing to pursue a career in integrative medicine while maintaining a full time practice taught me more than I ever thought I would know on how to support and nourish the body. With this, I have learned that weight loss is a symptom of a greater imbalance happening internally rather than something that needs to be isolated. The body naturally loses weight when it’s healthy, and this is the only way weight can truly be stable.

Battling with weight gain is extremely frustrating, but that’s only because it’s addressed all wrong.

I’ve done the craziest things to lose weight, and this is why I know this is the only way to truly get control of your weight and your health. In the Get At The Roots Program, I can help navigate you through the underlying causes of weight gain so that in 12 weeks you will be on your way to becoming an expert that’s also living proof of what it takes to really lose weight and keep it off. This is what the Get At The Roots program can do for you:

Lose Weight AND Keep it Off for Good!

Testimonials

Before starting this program I was at my heaviest, had crazy cravings for sugar and felt tired all the time. I couldn’t believe the changes that took place within the first few weeks of implementing the information I learned. I went into the program thinking I just wanted to lose weight (which I certainly did), but came out of it with a new body, inside and out. My PMS symptoms disappeared, sleep improved, headaches stopped, my skin was glowing, my digestion improved tremendously, and of course I lost more than 20 pounds! The information in the Get At The Roots program is invaluable and truly was a life saver for myself.”

After having my second child, the weight did not want to budge. Even after breast feeding, my body just wasn’t the same. I still had an extra 15 pounds I wanted to lose. When I saw the Get At The Roots Program I thought I would give it a try. I thought I was eating healthy like most people, but it turned out I was eating specific foods in amounts that were affecting my blood sugar, holding me back from losing the weight, but also making me extra tired (especially having to care for a newborn and a 3 year old!) Going through the program enlightened me so much on how I should be eating for energy and weight maintenance. I have now lost all the weight and continue to implement the knowledge I gained in my own life and for my family!

My husband and I did the program together and were so enlightened about what we should be eating to lose weight. We were able to cook and support one another throughout the entire process which was very important to us. We each lost more than 20 pounds, but the real success was being able to carry on this information in our current lives and maintain a diet that we know is nourishing our bodies and bringing us real health long after completing the program.”

“I have struggled with type 2 diabetes for years and could not get it under control without medication. My doctor’s advise on what to eat was not helpful in any way, and in fact I just kept gaining more weight. After following the advice and taking the recommended support to help me through everything, I slowly started to see not only my body change, but I could for the first time in my adult life sleep at night without relying on any substances. Even the nutritionist I had been seeing at the hospital was amazed when she saw my blood sugar drop, and even more surprised by the slimmer me. Best of all, I no longer need medication or insulin!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What makes this program different?

A.Losing weight is not just about a deficit in calories or working out. There are many factors that affect our body’s ability to lose weight, however these typically are not discussed in mainstream health or nutrition. Without correcting these issues, weight loss can be extremely difficult, if not impossible for some people, even with a perfect diet and hard work. This program will help you identify your individual issues and correct them.

Q.What kind of foods will I be eating?

A.Whole Foods! Anything in its natural state that is unrefined and unprocessed. This means, NO low fat, fat free, light, and/or diet foods of any kind. Think of how it occurs in nature, that’s how we believe it’s meant to be eaten.

Q.How much weight can I expect to lose in the 12 weeks?

A.This will vary for everyone, as each person will come into the program with different needs, goals and health concerns. Depending on how much weight you need to lose for your body type, past members have lost anywhere from 10-50 pounds in the first 12 weeks.

Q.Do I have to work out?

A.Working out is important and has a lot of great health benefits, BUT we do not expect for you to begin a workout regimen when starting the program. Exercise is not needed to lose weight. Making sure you’re eating the right foods and getting your entire body working efficiently (digestion, hormones, blood sugar…) is how you will lose the weight naturally. We encourage you to get comfortable with the diet first, then bring in exercise after.

Q.Does the program follow a certain “school of thought” paleo, etc. ?

A.The GATR program is focused on whole food nutrition. Food sensitivities and why they develop are discussed and addressed, but the program focuses around real food, what this means and what to look for when choosing food products.

Q.What happens after the 12 weeks, do I have to keep with the routine?

A.This program is not a typical “diet”. I will show you how to eat to maintain health for sustainable results.

Many participants love how they feel after the 12 weeks and do not want to return to their old ways of eating. As a results they continue to lose weight or maintain depending on their goal.
